The Impossible Girl


Ashley White
    A magite sent out at birth to the mortal realm, no knowledge of who she is or her powers, until she’s called home to Xarcadia on her thirteenth birthday. The magites who call this “underworld” home live under the strict dictates of The Registry—and Ava will have to do the same. That starts with enrolling in Linhollow Academy for the Supernaturally Gifted. A target is placed on her back once it’s discovered Ava’s the only magite since The Registry’s inception to not be tagged or able to be tagged in its omniscient system. Powerful magites fear what this could mean and view her as a threat to a way of life that has kept their “underworld” safe for three hundred years. With all eyes on her, including two oversized shadows from The Registry watching her every move, Ava must toe the line as Resistance Riders, kelpies, near-death experiences, and other dangers follow her everywhere. In this new world where she shows incredible promise in her craft, Ava will learn that getting to the bottom of her unexplained existence will take her down a perilous path where a dark secret lurks—one dangerous enough to disrupt the entire order of The Registry and jeopardize her life and the lives of her new friends.
